1994 Toyota Paseo review from North America
"Toyota's best kept secret"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasional leak around door seals in heavy rain.
General comments?
I bought this car in October of 2003. Other than standard maintenance, I haven't had to replace a thing.
For an automatic, the car picks up quickly, however it has a few bands where the power lacks slightly.
Without any modifications, the car handles well enough to ignore the advisory speed limits posted at sharp curves.
Interior space is good in the front seat, however anyone older than eight will complain from the back.
Exterior and interior styling on the car are very modern and attractive.
There are also a few good tuner upgrades for the car if you know where to look. X-racing provides a stunning body kit and a few performance upgrades as well.
